Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for stabilizing an elongated metallic object of magnetic material when coating the object with a layer of metal by continuously transporting the object through a bath of molten metal.
- the metallic object is intended to be transported from said arrangement in a direction of transport along a predetermined transport path.
- the device comprises a wiping device for wiping off superfluous molten metal from the object by applying an air flow to the metallic object and where the wiping device comprises at least one first pair of air-knives comprising one air-knife on each side of the object.
- the device also comprises an electromagnetic stabilizing device which is arranged to stabilize the position of the object with respect to the predetermined transport path and which comprises at least one first pair of electromagnetic stabilizing members on each side of the plane.

- the coating is applied by continuously transporting the object through a bath of molten metal.
- Such a device is especially advantageous when continuously galvanizing a metal strip.
- the present invention will here after be described with reference to such an application. However, it should be noted that the invention is also applicable to galvanization of other metal objects, such as wires, rods, tubes or other elongated elements.
- the steel strip continuously passes through a bath that contains molten metal, usually zinc.
- the strip usually passes below an immersed roller and thereafter moves upwards through stabilizing and correcting rollers.
- the strip leaves the bath and is conveyed through a set of gas-knives, which blow away superfluous zinc from the strip and back to the bath, and in this way the thickness of the coating is controlled.
- the gas that is blown out with the knives may be air, nitrogen, steam or inert gas, but air and nitrogen are used most often.
- the strip is then conveyed without support until the coating has been cooled down and solidified.
- the coated steel strip is then led or directed via an upper roller to an arrangement for cutting the strip into separate strip elements or for winding the strip onto a roller. Normally, the strip moves in a vertical direction away from the immersed roller through the correcting and stabilizing rollers and the gas-knives to the upper roller.
- the gas-knives are usually arranged suspended from a beam that is movably arranged in the vertical direction and in a direction towards the strip.
- the gas-knives may also be angled such that the angle at which the gas hits the coating on the strip may be changed. Due to the geometry of the steel strip, the length the strip has to run without support, its speed and the blowing effect of the gas-knives, however, the steel strip will move in a direction that is essentially perpendicular to its direction of transport.
- Certain measures such as the use of correcting and stabilizing rollers, a precise control of the gas flow from the gas-knives, and an adjustment of the speed of the steel strip and/or an adjustment of the distance over which the strip has to run without support, may be taken for the purpose of reducing these transversal movements. If they are not reduced, these transversal movements will considerably disturb the exact wiping of the gas-knives, which results in an uneven thickness of the coating.
- stabilizing devices in a device for galvanizing a metallic strip in order to reduce the vibrations of the strip.
- These stabilizing devices comprise wiping devices arranged at, and in contact with, the corners of the respective edge of the strip to fix the edges in the desired position and an electromagnet arranged in a region opposite to the width of the strip, on opposite sides of the strip and between the respective guide device, to reduce the vibrations of the strip.
- the stabilizing device is placed downstream of the gas-knives.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for stabilizing and reducing vibrations in an elongated metallic object of magnetic material, such as a metallic strip, in connection with air wiping of superfluous molten metal from the strip.
- a device comprising a wiping device for wiping off superfluous molten metal from the strip.
- the strip is continuously transported through an arrangement for applying molten metal to the strip, for example a bath of molten metal.
- the strip is intended to be transported from the bath of molten metal in a direction of transport along a predetermined transport path (x).
- x transport path
- the device comprises a sensor that is arranged to detect the deviation of the strip from the predetermined transport path (x) in a region adjoining the line where the air flow from the air-knives hits the strip. Information about the deviation of the strip is then passed to control equipment for controlling an electromagnetic stabilizing device.
- the stabilizing device which is arranged to stabilize the position of the object with respect to the predetermined transport path, comprises at least one first pair of electromagnetic stabilizing members arranged adjacent to the air-knives and on each side of the strip. Since the air-knives and the electromagnetic stabilizing members are arranged adjacent to each other to reduce the movement of the object perpendicular to the direction of transport, an optimal damping of the vibrations is achieved at the region between the air-knives.
- the position of the plate is detected in close proximity to the disturbance generated by the air flow from the air-knives on the plate.
- the disturbance is detected within an interval of 0-500 mm from the disturbance, that is, the location where the air flow hits the plate, most preferably within an interval of 0-200 mm from the disturbance on the plate. In those cases where the sensors are inclined, it is possible to measure in or in immediate proximity to the line where the air flow hits the coating on the strip.
- the device comprises a sensor arranged to sense the value of a parameter that depends on the position of the strip with respect to the predetermined transport path, whereby the stabilizing device is arranged to apply a magnetic force to the strip that responds to the sensed value and that is directed across the transport direction and across the predetermined transport path.
- the sensed value of a parameter is processed in a signal-processing device and controls the current that flows to the coils in the electromagnetic stabilizing device.
- the sensor is suitably movably arranged in a direction towards the strip such that the position of the sensor is adapted to the thickness of the strip.
- the sensor is, for example, an inductive transducer or a laser transducer to measure a distance.
- One advantage of a laser transducer is that it may be placed at a larger distance from the strip than the inductive transducer.
- each stabilizing member comprises at least two stabilizing coils, wherein the two stabilizing coils are movably arranged in the extent of the metal strip across the transport direction and in the predetermined transport path.
- each stabilizing member comprises at least three stabilizing coils, wherein at least two of the coils, preferably the coils arranged at the edges of the metal strip, are movable in the extent of the metal strip across the transport direction.
- the air-knife is arranged at a beam for controlling the location of the air-knife, and the stabilizing device is arranged in the beam for achieving as efficient a stabilization of the strip as possible.
- the air-knife is preferably movably arranged at the beam via a suspension device such that the angle of the air that hits the strip is controlled by angularly adjusting the air-knife.
- the stabilizing device is secured outside the beam that holds the air-knife. This results in the stabilizer acting on the strip adjacent to the location where the disturbance from the air-knives on the strip arises.
- the stabilizer is arranged on a beam that is separated from the beam of the air-knife and that is arranged in close proximity to the beam of the air-knife.
- the beam with the stabilizer is movably arranged horizontally in a direction towards the strip and also in a direction vertically substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the strip. This means that the position of the stabilizer may be adjusted independently from the position of the air-knife.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by means of a method according to the features described in the characterizing portion of the independent claim 12 .
- tensioning of the strip occurs before the stabilization of the strip begins.
- One of the at least two stabilizing members arranged on each side of the strip is configured to act on the strip with an active magnetic force that attracts the strip. This results in the strip being tensioned by allowing the strip to run a somewhat longer distance when being moved from its original position in the predetermined transport path to a new position closer to the stabilizing member with the active magnetic force.
- the active magnetic force is brought about by superimposing a constant current onto the current to the coil or the coils in one of the at least two stabilizing devices. The tensioning of the strip results in a more efficient stabilization on the strip.
- One advantage of the invention is that by placing the stabilizing members quite close to the air-knives, the vibrations that arise just in front of the air-knives, and due to the influence of the air on the strip, are damped. Because the vibrations are efficiently damped, the nozzle of the air-knives may be placed closer to the strip and hence the efficient of the air-knife is increased. A more efficient air-knife means that more of the layer may be scraped off with the air-knife and a thinner layer be obtained. A thinner layer results in a reduction of the waviness of the surface and in a reduction of optical defects, for example so-called roses, on the coated surface.
- Still another advantage is that a vibration node may be created right in front of the nozzle of the air-knife, which results in the strip standing still right in front of the air-knife.

Description
- The present invention relates to a device for stabilizing an elongated metallic object of magnetic material when coating the object with a layer of metal by continuously transporting the object through a bath of molten metal. The metallic object is intended to be transported from said arrangement in a direction of transport along a predetermined transport path. The device comprises a wiping device for wiping off superfluous molten metal from the object by applying an air flow to the metallic object and where the wiping device comprises at least one first pair of air-knives comprising one air-knife on each side of the object. The device also comprises an electromagnetic stabilizing device which is arranged to stabilize the position of the object with respect to the predetermined transport path and which comprises at least one first pair of electromagnetic stabilizing members on each side of the plane.
- The invention also relates to a method for stabilizing an elongated metallic object that is coated with a layer of molten metal. The coating is applied by continuously transporting the object through a bath of molten metal.
- Such a device is especially advantageous when continuously galvanizing a metal strip. The present invention will here after be described with reference to such an application. However, it should be noted that the invention is also applicable to galvanization of other metal objects, such as wires, rods, tubes or other elongated elements.
- During continuous galvanization of a metallic strip, for example a steel strip, the steel strip continuously passes through a bath that contains molten metal, usually zinc. In the bath, the strip usually passes below an immersed roller and thereafter moves upwards through stabilizing and correcting rollers. The strip leaves the bath and is conveyed through a set of gas-knives, which blow away superfluous zinc from the strip and back to the bath, and in this way the thickness of the coating is controlled. The gas that is blown out with the knives may be air, nitrogen, steam or inert gas, but air and nitrogen are used most often. The strip is then conveyed without support until the coating has been cooled down and solidified. The coated steel strip is then led or directed via an upper roller to an arrangement for cutting the strip into separate strip elements or for winding the strip onto a roller. Normally, the strip moves in a vertical direction away from the immersed roller through the correcting and stabilizing rollers and the gas-knives to the upper roller.
- When steel strip is galvanized, an even and thin thickness of the coating is aimed at. One common method is to measure the mass of the coating after the strip has passed through the upper roller. This reading is utilized for controlling the gas-knives and hence controlling the thickness of the coating. The gas-knives are usually arranged suspended from a beam that is movably arranged in the vertical direction and in a direction towards the strip. The gas-knives may also be angled such that the angle at which the gas hits the coating on the strip may be changed. Due to the geometry of the steel strip, the length the strip has to run without support, its speed and the blowing effect of the gas-knives, however, the steel strip will move in a direction that is essentially perpendicular to its direction of transport.
- Certain measures, such as the use of correcting and stabilizing rollers, a precise control of the gas flow from the gas-knives, and an adjustment of the speed of the steel strip and/or an adjustment of the distance over which the strip has to run without support, may be taken for the purpose of reducing these transversal movements. If they are not reduced, these transversal movements will considerably disturb the exact wiping of the gas-knives, which results in an uneven thickness of the coating.
- In the Japanese publication with publication number JP 09-202955, it is shown how the vibrations in a metallic strip are reduced with the aid of rolls that stabilize and tension the strip after having passed through the gas-knives. The position of the strip in relation to its direction of transport in a plane is measured with a sensor, from where information is passed on to a computer that carries out a vibration analysis based on the values obtained and, together with information about the speed of the strip, calculates the optimum tensioning of the strip to control the vibrations in the strip.
- It is also known from the published document JP 3173755 to arrange stabilizing devices in a device for galvanizing a metallic strip in order to reduce the vibrations of the strip. These stabilizing devices comprise wiping devices arranged at, and in contact with, the corners of the respective edge of the strip to fix the edges in the desired position and an electromagnet arranged in a region opposite to the width of the strip, on opposite sides of the strip and between the respective guide device, to reduce the vibrations of the strip. The stabilizing device is placed downstream of the gas-knives.
- One problem with known devices is that they do not provide sufficient stabilization of the strip. There is a need to place the air-knives closer to the strip to make the wiping more efficient and to obtain a higher quality of the layer. With the stabilizers of today, this is not possible since space must be provided for the vibrations of the plate between the air-knives, which results in the layer thickness becoming larger than what is desired. A thick layer results in a more expensive product than if the layer could have been made thinner, and also causes surface defects, such as uneven coating.
- The object of the invention is to provide a device for stabilizing and reducing vibrations in an elongated metallic object of magnetic material, such as a metallic strip, in connection with air wiping of superfluous molten metal from the strip.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a device according to the features described in the characterizing portion of the
independent claim 1. - This object is further achieved by a device comprising a wiping device for wiping off superfluous molten metal from the strip. The strip is continuously transported through an arrangement for applying molten metal to the strip, for example a bath of molten metal. The strip is intended to be transported from the bath of molten metal in a direction of transport along a predetermined transport path (x). By applying an air flow in a line across the strip with the layer of molten metal, wiping of superfluous molten metal is achieved. The air flow is generated in a wiping device comprising at least one first pair of air-knives with one air-knife on each side of the strip. The device comprises a sensor that is arranged to detect the deviation of the strip from the predetermined transport path (x) in a region adjoining the line where the air flow from the air-knives hits the strip. Information about the deviation of the strip is then passed to control equipment for controlling an electromagnetic stabilizing device. The stabilizing device, which is arranged to stabilize the position of the object with respect to the predetermined transport path, comprises at least one first pair of electromagnetic stabilizing members arranged adjacent to the air-knives and on each side of the strip. Since the air-knives and the electromagnetic stabilizing members are arranged adjacent to each other to reduce the movement of the object perpendicular to the direction of transport, an optimal damping of the vibrations is achieved at the region between the air-knives.
- Advantageous developments of the invention will be clear from the following description and from the dependent device claims 2-11.
- According to an advantageous embodiment, the position of the plate is detected in close proximity to the disturbance generated by the air flow from the air-knives on the plate. Preferably, the disturbance is detected within an interval of 0-500 mm from the disturbance, that is, the location where the air flow hits the plate, most preferably within an interval of 0-200 mm from the disturbance on the plate. In those cases where the sensors are inclined, it is possible to measure in or in immediate proximity to the line where the air flow hits the coating on the strip.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the device comprises a sensor arranged to sense the value of a parameter that depends on the position of the strip with respect to the predetermined transport path, whereby the stabilizing device is arranged to apply a magnetic force to the strip that responds to the sensed value and that is directed across the transport direction and across the predetermined transport path. The sensed value of a parameter is processed in a signal-processing device and controls the current that flows to the coils in the electromagnetic stabilizing device. The sensor is suitably movably arranged in a direction towards the strip such that the position of the sensor is adapted to the thickness of the strip. The sensor is, for example, an inductive transducer or a laser transducer to measure a distance. One advantage of a laser transducer is that it may be placed at a larger distance from the strip than the inductive transducer.
- According to another embodiment of the invention, each stabilizing member comprises at least two stabilizing coils, wherein the two stabilizing coils are movably arranged in the extent of the metal strip across the transport direction and in the predetermined transport path. By arranging the two stabilizing coils to be movable, an optimum quality of the coating is obtained, irrespective of bandwidth.
- According to yet another embodiment of the invention, each stabilizing member comprises at least three stabilizing coils, wherein at least two of the coils, preferably the coils arranged at the edges of the metal strip, are movable in the extent of the metal strip across the transport direction. By arranging at least two of the coils to be movable, a stabilization is obtained that is adapted to the relevant bandwidth.
- According to still another embodiment, the air-knife is arranged at a beam for controlling the location of the air-knife, and the stabilizing device is arranged in the beam for achieving as efficient a stabilization of the strip as possible. The air-knife is preferably movably arranged at the beam via a suspension device such that the angle of the air that hits the strip is controlled by angularly adjusting the air-knife.
- According to still a further embodiment, the stabilizing device is secured outside the beam that holds the air-knife. This results in the stabilizer acting on the strip adjacent to the location where the disturbance from the air-knives on the strip arises.
- According to yet a further embodiment, the stabilizer is arranged on a beam that is separated from the beam of the air-knife and that is arranged in close proximity to the beam of the air-knife. The beam with the stabilizer is movably arranged horizontally in a direction towards the strip and also in a direction vertically substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the strip. This means that the position of the stabilizer may be adjusted independently from the position of the air-knife.
- The object of the invention is also achieved by means of a method according to the features described in the characterizing portion of the independent claim 12.
- Preferred embodiments of the method are defined in the dependent method claims 13-15 and in the following paragraph. According to an additional embodiment of the invention, tensioning of the strip occurs before the stabilization of the strip begins. One of the at least two stabilizing members arranged on each side of the strip is configured to act on the strip with an active magnetic force that attracts the strip. This results in the strip being tensioned by allowing the strip to run a somewhat longer distance when being moved from its original position in the predetermined transport path to a new position closer to the stabilizing member with the active magnetic force. The active magnetic force is brought about by superimposing a constant current onto the current to the coil or the coils in one of the at least two stabilizing devices. The tensioning of the strip results in a more efficient stabilization on the strip.
- One advantage of the invention is that by placing the stabilizing members quite close to the air-knives, the vibrations that arise just in front of the air-knives, and due to the influence of the air on the strip, are damped. Because the vibrations are efficiently damped, the nozzle of the air-knives may be placed closer to the strip and hence the efficient of the air-knife is increased. A more efficient air-knife means that more of the layer may be scraped off with the air-knife and a thinner layer be obtained. A thinner layer results in a reduction of the waviness of the surface and in a reduction of optical defects, for example so-called roses, on the coated surface.
- Still another advantage is that a vibration node may be created right in front of the nozzle of the air-knife, which results in the strip standing still right in front of the air-knife.
